Just skimmed the abstract of the last article you linked. Looks like they think covid might be getting into cells in the pancreas and causing damage there which might lead to diabetes. It's so far just observational data, but pretty bad if true.
it's worse than that - covid seems to get into everything. it's apparently able to cross the blood-brain barrier. it also causes a bunch of autoimmune issues. and severity of symptoms (or lack thereof) during the acute infection don't indicate the severity of symptoms in the weeks and months that follow. mild or asymptomatic covid can still be debilitating in the long run because of the autoimmune damage the disease can trigger.
